1000Km de Silverstone
Another Le Mans Series classic: the 1000 Km of Silverstone. Traditionally established as final race of the season, the 2010 edition will respect the rule. Held over 3 days, the British race is always one of all challenges for the teams and drivers, such as Jean-Christophe Boullion in 2009, admired by all for his incredible comeback trying to win against all odds until the very last moment. The British soil witnesses these heroes' assaults.
Since 1905, endurance racing has enjoyed an important role among British racing concerns with the creation of the Tourist Trophy. Since 1976, whether it is for six hours or 1000kms, all the endurance championships have competed at Silverstone.
